Someone, presimably someone with no experience reading crowd mood, is still trying to get people to leave the courthouse. "The feds have nothing to do with Portland!" Blood on the pavement behind me offers a silent rebuttal -@1misanthrophile

"You shot him in the fucking FACE!! He was on the SIDEWALK!! KILL YOURSELF!!" The protester means it. Someone else told me we should have a whole new set of riots based just on what happened here tonight before I got here -@1misanthrophile

"how does it feel being at war with your own people?" A protester starts boxing a "no parking" sign until friends drag him back I am astounded and yet unsurprised to smell weed just everywhere This will presumably continue until the feds decide it shouldn't -@1misanthrophile

A deafening siren from inside. It's almost unbearable Joke's on them, our hearing is all shot to shit from flash bang already -@1misanthrophile

Announcements starting up again. I can't hear what they're saying. Funny how that works An angel on a bike hands earplugs to the crowd -@1misanthrophile

Some white dude in a tie-dye short stands on the sidewalk and yells at people to go home Two black activists start clapping sarcastically. "Oh shit y'all, a white person is talking! Shut up everyone!" He's gone now. Not sure how he thought that was gonna go -@1misanthrophile

They're back at the door. Fatigues and helmets and gas masks and body armor They look enormous. This must be how we looked to the people of Afghanistan when I was there. We didn't wear gas masks though. No need Forgive me, my mind wanders -@1misanthrophile
